Imre, you are talking some bollox there mate!!!
For starters we are 8 points above relegation and with our GD being so much better that might as well be 9!!. For us to get relegated, 5 of the 7 teams below us how to at the very least outperform us, not much to ask for from Hull and maybe Bolton, but the rest will struggle to just catch us assuming we get no more points lets alone if we pick up a few more!! The bottom 5 teams have won just 2 games collectively in their last 25 games combined - one of which was today for Brum!! Aside from that we still have to play Reading and Sunderland, both games we can win especially if we get a couple more of our first team back by the time they come around.
We did ok in the first half today, Hutch looked solid but tired in the 2nd half to be expected but in the first half he seemed to always look for the forward pass unlike our previous midfielders and Bannan started off ok but we were under the kosh a while in the second half with them chasing the game once we scored, so I didn’t think he was that bad.
I want to get one more win quickly because I am sure that will see us safe for sure. Then lets get the first team back and see what Jos can do. I still think he is what we need, he is stricter with the players than Carlos was, he will get them properly fit and he has multiple times built teams to win promotion. We are now rebuilding, I would expect us to finish easily mid-table next season, maybe push for the playoffs but that would be a bonus, so we need a manger who can build a team without spending millions and with playing the youth - I would like to see Jos given time to do this.
Don’t ignore what your head is saying Pei!!! We see these games from Nuhiu every once in a while but we can do better than him and probably with someone younger. We won’t get promoted with him in the team, but he is a hard worker when the team is doing badly and we sometimes need that. Problem is he is out of contract, this is the time to let him go because we will never get a fee for him anyway.
But yes he had a very good game today.
